Japanese teen drama Last Time I Saw You channels the spirit of Night in the Woods with its killer opening

After playing the brief but brilliant demo for coming of age tale Last Time I Saw You, we can't wait to play more.

And you can feel it in your bones every time you glimpse the moody twilight sun outside, which seems charged with such a nervous energy that it will make you want to snuggle back under Ayumi's duvet until the inevitable storm all blows over. But as you amble through the town's quiet streets, past the local gossips, snack vendors and dad-joke laden policeman, Ayumi can't stop thinking about the dream he had the night before - and the girl whose face he very nearly got a look at this time, but whose features never quite came into focus as he started to wake up. Still, even if Ayumi's wonky bat swings aren't the best thing about this demo, its cliffhanger ending did leave me wanting more - and with its Steam page promising a tale about love and acceptance, a terrible curse and an eclectic cast of characters inspired by Japanese mythology, there's no doubt that Last Time I Saw You ticks several boxes for me.
